5.9 NORTHCOTE’S GAME
The “default” starting position looks like this:
The player with the white pieces begins by moving one
piece forward. It can go as far as he likes, but must stop
short of the black piece in the same column.
Black replies in the same way. The players move
alternately until all the pieces are blocking each other.
The player who makes the last move loses, unless the
opposite was agreed beforehand.
5.9.1 Before play starts
